M. A. Heath, after year experience
editing newspaper in Dakota dc livcrs
himself of the following: Some might
run newspaper thousand years and
never get rich. We have an inkling that
we belong to that class. Our surprise
has been multiplied many times at the
amount of hard cash and silver certifi
Gates it requires to keep the machine
oiled. We no longer wonder that delin-
quent subscribers are pounded on the
back to pay up bills. Bills which would
fill small meeting house have come in
to reduce our profits and we can say
with one of the old played ott saints
we find no pleasure in them" These
bills payable have been big thorn in
our financial side; our offspring have
went to school barefooted and alone; hut
when our better half commenced PRAYING
for the staff of life. editorial aspirations
fell to forty degrees below freeze-up
and we con cluded we had enough. 1t
does not take long for a man of high
aspirations to get enough when he goes

final proof rush is over

The earth, according to some astrono-
mers, is loosing time Through two
causes, the suns attraction, and the
friction of the tides, the earth each year
reyolyes more slowly on its axis, so they
tell us. The speculative question which
these astronomers are discussing is
whether in the end the earth will stop its
revolving upon its axis. aud will present
always the same face to tbs sun. When
that event occurs there will be perpetual
day in one part of the earth and perpet-
ua! night in another. But there is no
occasion for immediate alarm. The rate
at which the earth is supposed to lose
time only shortens the year by half q
second in century. There are more
than thirty-one and half millions sec
onds in a year. Therefore, if the earth
ever does cease to revolye on its axis, it
will be more than six thousand million
years before it will stop, and we shall all
have plenty Of time to psy off these Da-
kota mortgages, get our comfy aud city
warrants cashed and settle up things
generally.

The death of Professor Baird. which is
threatened, as he is very seriously i'll,
would be every bOdy's bereavement. AS a
student of nature and SeeFatary of the
Smithsonian Institute at Washington. his
labors have been such as all intel ligent
men and women approve, being separated
entirely from the jar Of party and relig-
ious difference. Then the man possesses
genial and great qualities widely known
and appreciated. Wherever personally
known ne is loved.
Spencer F. Baird was born at Reading,
Pennsylvania, on Feb. 90. 1928. His ele-
mentary studies were complies ed in his
native town, when he entered Dick nSOn
College, where he was graduated when
seventeen years of age. After graduation
he found leisure to follow his favOrite line
of research. devoting himself with youth
tul enthusiasm to natural history. In the
prosecution Z f tais toll he took long ped
estran excursions, thus laying bv store
OF health for the absorbing tasAs Of his
ripper years. During this time he collected
the specimens which formed the nucleus of
The museum at the Smithsonian Institute.
The years OF leisure thus appropriated
were followed by the reading of medical
books. Mr. Baird afterwards attended
lectures at the College Of Physicians and
Surgeons, New York. In 1919, which
was three ygars later, he was made Pro-
lessor IN Dickinson College. where ne
taught the seniors in physiology, the
sophomores geometry and the freshmen in
geology. He found time, however. to
carry on the work begun in previous years

he went to Washington to live, and from
1880 he has been connected with the
Smithsonian Institute. For the last nine
years, or since the death Of Professor
Henry in 1873, he has had eutire executive
control of the establishment. He has
seen it grow from few small boxes OF
specimens to its present splendid proper
tons, and in its building up he has had
always prominent pant.
Baird's study is in the basement of his
residence at Washington, where for many
years its occupant has busted himself five
hours every weekday before going to the
Institute, there to receive visitors and per

amined some large bones of great antiq-

went to the spring where the relies were
dug out. 1t is located on a low strip of
sprlngy prairie. The excavation around
the spring is twelve or fifteen feet deep, and
Thirty to forty feet across. The bones
were covered by several distinct layers.
The first layer was ancient peat, then
gravel. then volcanic ashes then a layer of
coarse peat. From this spring were taken
no less than nine mammoths, or
elephants of different sizes; the remains
of a cave of bears and hyenas and extinct
birds aud sea turtle. The dimensions OF
some of the bones of the larger mammoth
were wonderful TO look al. The horns
were a sort of tusk. and protruded from
the head just below the eyes. extending

on the ground or rocks. One of the horns
